Why bet on Mexico

As they did against France in the opener, Mexico will rely on the experience of Guillermo Ochoa to push forward the youngsters, among whom Diego Laínez undoubtedly stands out.

Why bet on Japan

Japan has now won three of its last four matches and has lost only one of its last six, while a strong squad means they should be taken extremely seriously in this competition.

Final betting analysis between: Mexico vs Japan

After their victory over France by a landslide, Mexico is motivated for the match against the hosts, but it is expected to be the toughest match in Group A due to the technical and physical qualities of both teams. They are also looking for their second win of the group stage to secure their place in the quarterfinals. Japan also got off to a winning start in their debut and despite not having their fans in the stands, they are still a strong favorite to be crowned on Japanese soil.

Both sides will believe they can cause the other problems in the final third of the field, but it is hard to look past Mexico considering their excellent performance against France. We are expecting a relatively tight game on Sunday, but ultimately we backed Mexico to pick up a vital three points with a 2-1 scoreline.
